Araña

Origin

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Anya was a normal girl until one night when she went out to a bridge to fight a boy from school. But when she arrived, a fight broke out between a group named the "Sisterhood of The Wasps", and a group called "The Spider Society". The fight left her severely injured, but Miguel (the sorcerer of the Spider Society) transfered some of his power to her, saving her life.

She received a spider-shaped tattoo from the energy transfer, Which gave her enhanced strength and agility, as well as the ability to form and exoskeleton around her. Miguel and Araña (known as The Hunter at this time) teamed up many times for the Spider Society, and preventing the Sisterhood of Wasps from summoning their chosen warrior. Araña recently learned that Hunters (of The Spider Society) don't have an exoskeleton like she has. In yet another battle against the Sisterhood of The Wasps, the Wasps were once again trying to summon their Hunter. The Sisterhood was unsuccessful, but Miguel did not survive the battle despite Spider-Man's help. Araña transferred her power to Nina Smith, another Spider Society member, after the death of Miguel. Although she isn't a Hunter anymore, she still has many of her superhuman abilities.

Civil War

Araña chose to register with the government after an encounter with Wonder Man and Ms. Marvel. She has since then been doing a lot of work with Ms. Marvel. She is being held hostage by the Puppet Master along with Stature, Dusk, Tigra and Silverclaw. When she was ordered to kill Ms. Marvel, Anya resisted the mind control long enough to be restrained by Machine Man and Sleepwalker, because she see Carol as a mother-figure.

When an alien kidnapped Ms. Marvel, Araña came after her, but she was being stopped by Agent Sum. When they get to Monster Isle, where Carol was sent, Anya and Agent Sum confronted the Brood. During the battle with the aliens, Ms. Marvel appeared to them as Binary and defeated the Brood. Anya went back home and apologize to her father.

Powers

Araña has superhuman strength, enabling her to lift up to 3 tons, and also superhuman agility. She has the ability to climb walls, and has jumped over 25 feet, meaning that her powers are comparable to those of Spider-Man. She has a flexible skeleton, and can hide in small areas.

She also has the ability to summon a blue exoskeleton, emanating from her spider-tattoo on her upper arm. She can control many aspects of the exoskeleton including it's shape, thickness, and coverage. It is resistant to small firearms at it's thickest. However, when it has contact with water, she is left unable to breathe.

Araña has also had training in gymnastics.

Weapons

Araña has a Bola of her own design, which she uses as a weapon, and as a tool similar to Spider-mans webs (used to grip objects as well as swing).
